KHSD nuts and bolts
As meetings go, Monday's (Oct. 5) Kern High School District board meeting didn't raise the hair on anyone's neck. One attendee charitably described it as "mundane." Guess what? Sometimes the business of running schools isn't explosive, or frustrating, or even all that exciting. There was no shortage of data and specifics about education code, test scores, and data analysis, the stuff that makes the learning gears turn. Here's last night's wrap up story: About 50 Ridgeview seniors showed up for the meeting. Several noted the emphasis the district has put on graduation rates (they were there to fulfill Government class requirement)

Can anyone explain the below please? This was in todays paper: _________________________________________________ _______ Following a two-year review, the district is close to adopting a new numbered system that will allow teachers and administrators access to district and state education codes through an online system. The district's code hasn't been aligned with state rules, meaning it takes more time to look up a specific code. "It will give me a quick reference to any question I might have about students, parent interaction, curriculum and instruction," said Fuchsia Ward, director of alternative education in the district.

"The grad rate is a big deal, it didn't use to be. But they care now, and are making you do it," said Angelica Barragan. Yes, Angelica, even though we know students would rather not graduate and do prefer to be miserable the rest of their lives, we're "making" you do it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
